Can you fill me in on where the levels of Tesla software are? The version of the OP who you are calling out as "apples" (the old, legacy one), what SAE autonomous level is that one? And the "oranges" one that is new and beta, is that a different level? If so, which level?

* Level 0 (No Driving Automation)

* Level 1 (Driver Assistance)

* Level 2 (Partial Driving Automation)

* Level 3 (Conditional Driving Automation)

* Level 4 (High Driving Automation)

* Level 5 (Full Driving Automation)

Different features of Tesla's software have different levels. As a whole, it's level 2.

If you restrict it to certain parts of driving, eg TACC, that might be level 4 (doesn't conform to the chart though). It can handle everything in it's domain, albeit in a rudimentary way, so a human doesn't always have to shadow it, but they do need to be ready to take over in some cases.

The apples to oranges bit is using the cruise control software to make guesses about FSD. I'm not certain but it would be very surprising if the software that provides basic cruise control shares much of the underlying algorithms and models as FSD, and if it does I'd be surprised if it's using models that aren't quite a bit older.
